It finishes here in part 3 together with the addition of one more cyclist, Thibaut Pinot who rides for FDJ BigMat. His tattoo is so perfectly written, so perfectly placed. Millions of viewers caught a glimpse of it when he raised his arms in victory while winning Stage 8 of the 2012 Tour de France in Porrentruy.

Etched on the back of his right upper arm, Pinot’s tattoo reads: “Sollo la vitoria e bella.”
